Tip

These bites are full of summer flavours the kids love love – cheese, tomatoes and zingy basil… Practically a pizza! As for what you’ll love? This recipe is packed full of protein-rich quinoa. Though seriously delicious straight out of the oven, these also taste great cold, so make awesome recess treats – especially when teamed with a couple of conveniently placed cherry tomatoes and some vegie sticks.

It’s always best to start this recipe the night before so that the quinoa has enough time to sprout. This means a better texture and a more nutritious end result. If you’re low on time, rinse the seeds well in cold water, then skip straight to step 2 and give the quinoa an extra 10 minutes when steaming in step 3.

These bites can also be fried (hellloooo crispy coating) but the hot oil has a tendency to spit, which means junior-chefs will require the assistance of a guardian or parent.

I made 2 batches. The first one I followed the recipe to make sure i knew what they should taste and look like. The second batch I altered slightly by trying to make them Gluten free. I didn't have any gluten free flour but I had some brown rice so 100g for 10 seconds on speed 10 made short work of my problem (and it worked) I also added parmasan cheese (50g) to this batch to give it a bit more flavour and they turned out great. Excellent recipe - thanks for sharing.

These are devine! Thank you so much for the recipe. I did not have Spelt Flour so used Plain Flour - otherwise I stuck to the recipe. I had a party recently and these disappeared very quickly. Have made these several times since. They are going to be a favourite.

What a fantastic recipe. My daughter loves, so good lunchbox treat, and i love them, so good snack to take to work. Found using the muffin tin a bit inconvenient, so just put some balls on baking tray instead.

Yummy! I doubled the batch and it yielded 20 (6cm diameter). They were devoured within minutes. Shame, as I was hoping to freeze them for school! I added pepper, a pinch of cayenne and used plain flour (all I had). SR flour would give a lighter texture, if that's your preference. I also cubed the mozzarella and added it step 6 instead of 5. The bites bubbled and browned nicely and didn't need topping, although for presentation purposes you would - that picture looks amazing! A super recipe that's healthy, quick and easy. More please!
